Not a movie, but Band of Brothers

The Longest Day and The Great Escape

Apparently, no one else has either.

Onionhead was such a notorious flop that it drove Griffith into television, according to Griffith's videotaped interview in the Archive of American Television.

Agree. It has received praise as one of the best shows (TV or otherwise) about WW2.

Loved those movies
 

Totally, but The Great Escape might be first in MHO. I loved McQueen’s part. Who hasn’t done the baseball bouncing at some point? And what about the motorcycle chase?

Birdmen was another good one.

The Best Years Of Our Lives, All Quiet On The Western Front. The Deer Hunter ought to be on that list too.

Anybody here see "Downfall"? It is a German-made movie (English subtitles) about Hitler's last days and the people in the bunker with him. It received some criticism as I recall for showing a human side of Hitler but overall a tremendous (and as I understand, historically very true as much of it was based on actual interviews of folks who were actually there).

It is a look at history from (sort of) the other side, and is worth watching.

My father in law was one of the guys portrayed in it. By far the best WW2 series of all time. The Pacific is a close second. I just read the Series depicting the air way is to be released very soon on Apple TV.

It's a must see, movie. One of the best ever after the Spielberg movies.

The 1957 war movie "The Enemy Below" that I watched in 1957 at local movie theater with my dad who was a WWII veteran. It made a lasting impression on me to want to also serve this great country.

That is the scariest book I've ever read...... I was a teenager, had nightmares for years.

The Hitler parodies clip on YouTube is from Downfall.

The Great Escape..... James Garner played my father.

Movies about Veterans
 

The best movie about dealing with the issues of veterans, not those currently in the military, is easy. The 1946 film, The Best Years of Our Lives. It follows the lives of three veterans as they return home to Boone City, USA right after the war. Their ups and downs, successes and problems. And one of the veterans - Dana Andrews - experiences shell shock - what we call PTSD. It swept the Oscars in 1947 and is my all-time favorite films. AND it is on Turner Classic Movies at 5 p.m. Eastern today, Saturday.
